In principle, I agree with you.I know the UK really got screwed with the thalidomide cover up. Did Australia? Even so, I don't think trotting out a 6o-year-old tragedy is fair to the drug companies. the general rule is don't paint with too broad a brush. I too am wary of GMOs. but they do benefit people. Many diabetics are alive today because of artificially created insulin. Artificially created insulin has been around since 1980. I think it's fair to say its got a proven track record. (Although it would have been a better idea to put our money into preventing diabetes than in treating it. But there just isn't as much money making opportunity in telling people to eat healthy and get exercise)being wary of artificially created plant-based Heme is a good idea. It's pretty new and it's pretty unnecessary (compared to insulin). But I don't think you should draw too many parallels with thalidomide.besides, the Impossible Burger is very popular among non-vegans. Think of all the cow's lives it's saving.[ATTACH=full]933[/ATTACH]
